Goals Realized!



The day began with chapel.

The older three boys had a youth game day in the afternoon.

The younger four children, Mike and I decided to go out and look for the four we missed yesterday. We figured with the additional hints from geocaching.com we’d be able to find a few of them. We kept Stacia in the car as it is 48* today – down from 85* two weeks ago.

We found all four caches. We reached our goal. We also discovered that we could have driven to all of them and saved ourselves 4 miles of hiking through brush….but hey….we like the hiking stuff anyway. In the future, however, when alone with the kids I will remember to look for the road or train rather than taking off across a mile of dry lake bed etc.

OH - I didn't mention that it was DARK - DARK when we found that last one. They said it was hanging in "buffalo food" but it was about 100 yds from the coordinates. I had the van lights shining on the spot and they had flashlights. That wasn't just Zander goofing off.
